Commercial Travelers
On Annual Outing
Long Island Council No. 550, (Com¬ mercial Travelers of America, had its second annual outing last Saturday to Point Lookout Beach and the oc¬ casion was delightful in every way.
.\bout 125 members and their fam¬ ilies embarked on two boats, which started from Southard's dock, Free- uport, loaded with good things to eat and temperance drinks, including grapeade for the "kiddies." Special songs slips had been provided, and led by a number who possessed strong voices, the happy party joined enthus¬ iastically in some good oW-time melo¬ dies, including several that were pa¬ triotic and others up-to-date. Louis Blank of Mineola, Emest DeGuiscard of Mineola, Harry Leich of Merrick, and the inimitable "Teddy" Spiegel acquitted themselves in an able man¬ ner.
At Point Lookout the merry-mak¬ ers enjojred bathing and other pas¬ times. A flne spread, featured with juicy steak, hot com and ice cream amply satisfied everypone's appetite. The "kiddies" had bars of sweet -choc¬ olate and grapeade in abundance.
The >arty retumed home during the evraiing, tired but happy over the pleasures of the occasion. Much (Cred¬ it is dae to Charles W. Knapp, chair¬ man of the excursion committee, for thc success of the outing, and also to Senior Councilor Walter M. Nichols.
Long Island Council is the cham¬ pion Travelers' organization of New York State, havi«g recently won the membenthip contest under the coun- cilorehrii of Albin $1. Johnson.

Give tbe Invalids a Ride
(From Hempstead Inquirer) Persons owning automobiles with spare room are urged by people who have done it, to stop at the base hos¬ pital at the Mineola Fair Grounds and give convalescent soldiers a pleasure ride. Among the 500 patients at the base hospital arc many who have not seen their folks ii^ months. One autoist stopped there yesterday and gave two sol(^iers a ride. One was from Florida and thc otlier from. Cali¬ fornia. Tliey have been patients at various hospitals for several months and have not seen their folks in near¬ ly a year.
The officers at the hospital grounds will willingly give consent to autolst.T who properly identify themselves, to take convalescent soldiera for a ride. Some of the covivaluscents, of course, are too weak and an automobile ride in their eases would be more injurious than beneficial. Others are able toj ride, however, and permission Is al¬ ways accorded them to go on the trips, provided they are not too long away.
York. The Association has resolved t6 urge the consuming public to limit its purchases of candies and choco¬ lates to one pound at any one time, and to limit its aggregate purchases to one-half its usual consumption. The Food Administration suggests that this resolution be adopted by the con¬ fectionery manufacturers in every State.
Bakers' Reports The U. S. F. A. has outlined a new policy for bakers' monthly reports made to Washington. Only those who use 150 barrels or more of wheat flour and substitutes per month will be required to make reports to Wash¬ ington. These number al^ut 3,000, and the reports will be required on a five-weekly basis, an^ will be in the nature of a summary of the weekly reports. The reports will be made iif duplicate omly, the original gohig to Washington, and the duplicate being held by the Iwker, as the State Ad¬ min jstrators hold the weekly reports. Before the war, only about 10 per <?ent. of the food deficit in the Allied countries wa» provided by America. Approximately 80 per cent, of the Al¬ lied deficit was Ailed last year by the United SUtes and Canada. And from tho 1918 crops we will very ^robtibly be called upon to supply a much larg¬ er prapntian ot this ever-increasing European deAcit.

Commercial Travelers
On Annual Outing
Long Island Council No. 550, (Com¬ mercial Travelers of America, had its second annual outing last Saturday to Point Lookout Beach and the oc¬ casion was delightful in every way.
.\bout 125 members and their fam¬ ilies embarked on two boats, which started from Southard's dock, Free- uport, loaded with good things to eat and temperance drinks, including grapeade for the "kiddies." Special songs slips had been provided, and led by a number who possessed strong voices, the happy party joined enthus¬ iastically in some good oW-time melo¬ dies, including several that were pa¬ triotic and others up-to-date. Louis Blank of Mineola, Emest DeGuiscard of Mineola, Harry Leich of Merrick, and the inimitable "Teddy" Spiegel acquitted themselves in an able man¬ ner.
At Point Lookout the merry-mak¬ ers enjojred bathing and other pas¬ times. A flne spread, featured with juicy steak, hot com and ice cream amply satisfied everypone's appetite. The "kiddies" had bars of sweet -choc¬ olate and grapeade in abundance.
The >arty retumed home during the evraiing, tired but happy over the pleasures of the occasion. Much (Cred¬ it is dae to Charles W. Knapp, chair¬ man of the excursion committee, for thc success of the outing, and also to Senior Councilor Walter M. Nichols.
Long Island Council is the cham¬ pion Travelers' organization of New York State, havi«g recently won the membenthip contest under the coun- cilorehrii of Albin $1. Johnson.

Give tbe Invalids a Ride
(From Hempstead Inquirer) Persons owning automobiles with spare room are urged by people who have done it, to stop at the base hos¬ pital at the Mineola Fair Grounds and give convalescent soldiers a pleasure ride. Among the 500 patients at the base hospital arc many who have not seen their folks ii^ months. One autoist stopped there yesterday and gave two sol(^iers a ride. One was from Florida and thc otlier from. Cali¬ fornia. Tliey have been patients at various hospitals for several months and have not seen their folks in near¬ ly a year.
The officers at the hospital grounds will willingly give consent to autolst.T who properly identify themselves, to take convalescent soldiera for a ride. Some of the covivaluscents, of course, are too weak and an automobile ride in their eases would be more injurious than beneficial. Others are able toj ride, however, and permission Is al¬ ways accorded them to go on the trips, provided they are not too long away.
